摘要:
A foam article, such as a cushioning element for an article of footwear, apparel or sporting equipment is provided that comprises a foam component, such as a midsole, having a number of beneficial physical characteristics. The cushioning element is a low-density foamed component with a surface skin that encases the remaining foam volume. The cushioning element has a number of foam volumes, arranged to achieve a more consistent foam component. Additionally, the cushioning element includes a series of concentric ridges extending radially outwardly from injection gate vestige locations, and a number of striation bands near the perimeter of the cushioning element. The location of the gate vestiges can be beneficially arranged to produce intersecting flow boundaries that are located away from key strain areas of the cushioning element. The cushioning element is more environmentally-friendly, requiring less energy to produce while still providing acceptable energy return and low density.

摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing at least two-layer components and correspondingly produced components per se as absorptive lining in the interior and/or boot or for floor coverings of motor vehicles, comprising a top material and an absorber.
摘要:
A structural body component, such as a rocker panel or rear spoiler, and a method of manufacture. The method may include heating a mixture having a polymer and a blowing agent, pressurizing a cavity of a mold, injecting the mixture into the cavity in a single shot such while exerting backpressure against the mixture as it is injected, and cooling the mixture in the mold to form the component.
摘要:
A method of improving the appearance of foaming injection molding product includes closing the moving mold and the fixed mold and setting a clamping force on the closed mold, wherein a mold cavity is formed between the moving mold and the fixed mold. The method proceeds by inflating the mold cavity with high pressure and high temperature gas until the air pressure in the mold cavity reaches 2-25 MPa and the temperature of the high pressure and high temperature gas is between 60-200° C., then injecting molten resin that contains foaming agent into the mold cavity while continuously inflating high pressure and high temperature gas. After injection completed, stopping inflating high pressure and high temperature gas and simultaneously releasing pressure, wherein the step of releasing pressure includes the step of opening the mold.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of producing a foam product (1), whereby a body (2) of expanded closed-cell foam, in particular expanded polystyrene particle foam, is subjected to a non-melting heat treatment at a temperature above the glass transition temperature of the plastic used to form the foam, in particular polystyrene.
摘要:
A composite foam product comprising a foam core surrounded by a gas-impermeable film. The gas-impermeable film retains the gas formed from the blowing agent so that the pressure inside the foam core is above ambient pressures.
摘要:
A method of producing a foam product subjects a body of expanded closed-cell foam, in particular expanded polystyrene particle foam, to a non-melting heat treatment at a temperature above the glass transition temperature of the plastic used to form the foam, in particular polystyrene. The volume of the foam product is reduced by the heat treatment compared with the initial state prior to the heat treatment by a value from a range between a lower limit of 50% and an upper limit of 97%.
摘要:
An injection molded foam article including a structure and a projection projecting from the structure. The thickness of the projection is greater than 40% of the thickness of the structure and the front surface of the structure opposite the projection is free of sink marks.
摘要:
A process for cross-linking/expanding at least one cross-linkable, expandable blank, which is intended to form all or part of an elastomeric safety support for a tire in which: the cross-linking consists of curing the expandable or expanded blank in a bath of fluid at excess pressure which is contained in an enclosure, such that the blank interacts with the bath independently of the enclosure, the temperature of the bath having a maximum value of between 110° C. and 210° C. and the absolute pressure of said bath having at least a value equal to or greater than 14 bar, and the expansion consists of curing the cross-linkable or cross-linked blank in the bath, the temperature of the bath having a maximum value of between 110° C. and 210° C., and the absolute pressure of the bath having at least a value equal to or greater than 5 bar and a final pressure-relief value substantially equal to 1 bar, for expanding the blank such that its increase in volume is unlimited with respect to the enclosure.
